NBR: Do you still wear your e-ring?

3Girls3xsTheFun · January 2012

Admittedly, I don't like my e-ring. H picked it out without asking me what I wanted and I ended up with a 3 stone ring, which I'm not a fan of for e-rings.

Anyway, It was really cold here yesterday and I had gloves on and the ring kept getting caught in the glove, so I took it off on my way to work.

I walked around all day with just my band (a diamond eternity band). I don't wear any other jewelry -- not even earings even though my ears are pierced -- so I like the minalmist look of just the band.

I'm not sure when H will notice or what I'll say, but I don't think I'm going to put my e-ring back on.

So, anyone else only wear their band? Does your H mind?

I had mine welded together, so I wear both. I love my engagement ring and my wedding band though. They are pretty simple and probably very similar as to what I would have picked out myself. E-ring is 4 pronged-round cut with small diamonds embedded in the band. My wedding band is the same as the sides of the e-ring.

SarahP15 · January 2012

I wear my engagement ring because I love it. THe only time I used to take it off was at work in the hospital because a lot of the times I would put on gloves they would tear where my ring was. He never minded though.

J9melissa · January 2012

I still wear mine. I love mine, but even if I didn't, my wedding band would look ridiculous without the E-ring. My w-band is made to form right up against the oddly shaped e-ring.

Here is what mine looks like:

courtneyjean7 · January 2012

My ring is soldered (sp?) together so I have to wear both of them. My e-ring is one large leo diamond and 7 small leo diamonds and my wedding band is 9 small leo diamonds. Even if it wasn't soldered together I think it would look funny if I just wore the band. Heres a pic so you get what I'm saying. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would feel weird wearing my band without the actual ring.

CarlaAndJames · January 2012

I wear mine. It's very simple though and I love it. It's slightly smaller than my wedding ring, so there was a time when I was pregnant that I could only wear my band, but that was short lived because then neither of them fit! Now Im back to wearing both.

Well, after reading the other resonses I guess I'm not the minority!

cvl105 · January 2012

I wear mine all the time, except when I'm around the house/sleeping/showering/etc. But I'm a BIG jewelery person.

I love my ring.

Magenta728 · January 2012

I wear both. I love my e-ring. However, I take off my rings as soon as I get home. I hate cooking with them on.

justme04 · January 2012

I haven't worn mine regularly since DS1 was born. Because the prongs holding the stone scratched him a few times and I decided it wasn't worth wearing anymore. (I also keep forgetting to run to the jewler to have the prongs fixed)

Then again I don't wear my wedding band all the time either. As a SAHM it just seems to be to much of a hassel most of the time.

DH doesnt mind. We both dont wear our rings when we are at home and he has never said anything if I forget to slip my ring on to run errands.

jkchs2003 · January 2012

I had mine welded together also, so I wear both.

DreamChaser246 · January 2012

I wear my e-ring when I go out.. but not when I'm taking it easy around the house or just go out to run an errand and forget to put it on. I love mine, I'm just casual and didn't wear it most of the time while on maternity leave.

Sunidaze · January 2012

I LOVE my engagement ring and feel naked without it. It is not soldered to my wedding band as it is a plain wedding band...I have to PIP to explain:

DH did good on the ring (he picked it out all on his own) but didn't realize I would need a wedding band to go along with it. So until we find the perfect match (or have one made) I wear the plain band with it. Towards the end of my pregancy, only my e-ring would fit - although I left it home when I went to the hospital. And too, when I go to Detroit, I leave the e-ring home and just wear the plain band.

My ring is odd-shaped too and would look weird without the actual ring!

taitai07 · January 2012

I've been wearing it less and less. It's a little bit smaller than my wedding ring, so it's feels tight on bloat-y days. Also, the diamond is kind of sticky-outy so I'm afraid of accidentally scratching LO with it. I do wear my wedding band everyday.

I don't think my H minds. I miss it, but I deal :-)

I had to get my band custom made as well. I took it to Kays and they did a really good job but it took about 2 months.

MommaG123 · January 2012

Yep, I love my E-ring!

I do sometimes leave my anniversary band at home. For our first anniversary MH bought a band identical to my wedding band. Sometimes I don't like wearing all three,sometimes I only wear my E-ring. I like to mix it up. Smile

Kymbirleigh · January 2012

Soldered together. I love mine though. DH had me select several rings when we were looking, and he said he was excited because the one I picked was one he had his eye on. My wedding band was made custom to match the e-ring. So I think my wedding band wouldn't look right without my e-ring. I wear mine to work and out, but if I'm around the house I usually have them off. I don't know how many times I've caught Kally's skin with the diamond. =(

RobinSparkles81 · January 2012

mine are also soldered together but I still can't wear them on my post baby fingers Crying

I've been wearing a different ring given to me by DH's family when we got married...I miss my wedding and ering though...they are pretty simple.

mari_gold · January 2012

I wear both engagement and wedding rings all the time, but I love them both. DH picked out exactly what I would have chosen for myself.

Exactly this, minus them being welded together. Our rings sound very similar. Here is pic of mine

foxisoxy128 · January 2012

I love mine too! I had my rings welded together after our wedding.

walter7878 · January 2012

I only have one...it isn't soldered together, but it's one ring that kind of looks like it's two, so I just wear it.

DH didn't even propose. We found out I was pregnant and made an appointment at the court house to get married. We didn't even buy my ring...it's a family heirloom that DH's mom pulled out and thought I might want. Ha!

We were married when DD1 was 18 months old and I so wish we would have done what you did instead. Weddings are overrated, especially if you have to watch your own kid during the reception, lol.

buffymu · January 2012

I got a band of diamonds as my e-ring and my wedding band and had them welded together, so I wesar mine. A couple of my co-workers don't wear there e-ring though. They complain that it gets stuck on sweaters or stuff, so they just wear the band unless they are going somewhere nice.

We didn't tell anyone we were getting married, just took my mom and sis with us to the courthouse on the way to my graduation. I wear a simple wedding band.

Turtle143 · January 2012

I love mine but sometimes the whole set gets pretty heavy so I wear just the two wedding bands around the house. I wear the whole set whenever I'm out.

I consider myself a minimalist too, aside from my rings I wear either diamond studs or pearl earrings.

When I don't wear my e-ring DH jokes it's too pretty (aka expensive) to not be worn. hahah

pammeelala · January 2012

I wear my e-ring almost any time I wear my w-ring now. When J was born I didn't wear it because I have cut open MH and me with it and I was afraid of cutting J with it. But now that he is bigger I am back to wearing it. My rings are not soldered together. I like my w-ring but I want a diamond anniversary band on either side instead of my original w-ring because the channel set sapphires just don't do justice to my e-ring. Plus my e-ring is contoured, and my w-ring is not. That I love Love LOVE. MH was smart enough to let me choose the ring, figuring I have to wear it forever, I may as well have the one I really want.

DramaMama06 · January 2012

mine is pretty basic, but i don't wear either around the house. it's my mom's setting

3Girls3xsTheFun · January 2012

Looks like I'm the only one who doesn't like my e-ring!

I really wish H would have asked me (or my mom, or my best friend...) what I would like instead of trying to "surprise" Huh? me.

OverjoyedMama · January 2012

Everyday!

barefoot barista · January 2012

Yes. It is a simple 1 carat solitaire, and I love it.

SpceCadet · January 2012

Mine doesn't fit anymore. DH and I were just talking about this the other night. He (finally) asked why I wasn't wearing my e-ring anymore. I've been wearing a simple gold band two sizes larger than my e-ring since about 10 weeks pregnant.

DH picked a single solitaire. I probably would have chosen something slightly different, but I love it because he picked on his own. We've talked about getting a wedding band made using some small heirloom diamonds, but never got around to having it made. Money was quite tight when we got married since we paid for our wedding and international honeymoon. I figured the ring could wait.

I have the same E-ring.

Spartanmama722 · January 2012

I actually only wear my e-ring. The e-ring actually fits into the wedding band and when I try to wear them together they're both too small, so until my fingers get less fat or I break down and get them resized I just wear the e-ring.

kas80 · January 2012

I just wear my band because my engagement ring kept cutting my LO on the leg. There was some sharp side but I couldn't figure out where exactly nor how to fix it and when I hold her it would always hit the exact same spot. I didn't pick it out, it was my MILs, and before her my husband's father's mother.

I like just the band honestly. My husband doesn't care, other people do which I find weird. I get a lot of comments about where my ring is. I have never taken off my wedding band since we got married (2.5 years ago). I shower, cook, clean, everything with it on. That seems to be odd.

megastar007 · January 2012

I never like mine

But always wore it with my wedding band (not soldered together). We had planned on trading it in for our 3rd anniversary this past Nov, but somehow one of our cats knocked it off of the counter and got it under the refrigerator. Long story short it broke and now I have a new one that I love

However it doesn't fit with my wedding band, so I just wear the E ring all the time.
